Guild Wars 2

Why the fastest class in this game also needs to be immune to all its kiting conditions and have its longest stun on its shortest cooldown for stunning abilities while dealing top level melee damage.

I don’t care if you want to fix melandru/lemongrass, lower warrior speed, limit their access to blocking, or tone the stun back. The above is not acceptable in any form.

Warrior speed is over the top and I am sure Anet will eventually nerf it. Their block and stun abilities are not inconvenient if you know how to counter them. Finally, warriors still need buff to be any good at pvp.

Its not about the block and the stun. Its about being an unkiteable melee dominant class.

This is the WvW forum. If you think warriors are still bad at WvW you’re behind the times.

No self respecting warrior runs mace/shield or GS. Yea, I have had GS on for mobility, but if I get into combat im useless. If all a warrior can do is escape, but be useless in combat since they aren’t using a hammer, idk how that’s considered OP. And what “Block” are you talking about? Shield? LOLOL no one uses shield, if you cant beat a shield warrior its defiantly l2p.

I was referring to both wvw and spvp. Warriors are way underpowered within these settings. I kite them all the time with my s/d ele. They are too easy to defeat at range specially those that run the mace/shield, gs stun lock build. This is a l2p issue.

Still haven’t addressed the “Melee Dominant” part.

And anyways, go ahead, tell me how you kite them.

Warrior has permaswiftness. You have permswiftness.
Warrior has a 1200 range rush. You have a 1200 range rush with double the cooldown.
Warrior has Bull’s Rush. You have… Updraft?
Warrior has Whirlwind Attack every 10 seconds. You have Flash every 45
Warrior has ranged cripple. You have…nothing.

If you think you’re outrunning a warrior with S/D, much less kiting him, you’re playing some astonishingly bad warriors. Anybody worth his salt is going to laugh his kitten off at your chill/cripple/immobilize/control response.

Go ahead. Tell me the appropriate method for kiting.

People keep saying Warrior is the fastest class in the game…

That is like saying, those darn thief can always shadow step/return – stealth (150% speed in stealth) + remove condition + regen in stealth and when I get hit buy a thief, I either get kill or they run away and reset the fight for another attempt – WIMP THEM!!!

Warriors are not “FAST” they are “mobile” – there is a HUGE difference between fast and mobile. Warriors can rush, whirl and leap away from combat but that is about it.

Looks like you are clueless about wvw outside of zerging

I do agree the latest builds of warriors are super fast in combat which makes them a tough fight given their HP pool. However I have been enjoying the challenge.

Most so far have been getting players to chase them then stunning followed by a huge damage spike. More coordinated teams use them to gas players out chasing the warrior who is leading those soon to be gassed out players to a team slaughter. IMO effective and a nice change of pace for skirmishing.

I don’t see an issue with warriors. The only thing they are really good for is CoF speedruns, which won’t exist anymore after Tuesday. Coordinated use of the F1 Hammer ability is also neat in a zerg situation, but honestly, I’d rather have coordinated use of Necro Wells.

As long as stupid ride the lightning or perma stealth still exists in any form, I have no issue with warrior speed.

Keep in mind that I am not a warrior player. I do have a warrior, but I haven’t played it in months and probably won’t ever play it again because I hate it. If a new profession was introduced, the warrior would be deleted for the character slot.

Warrior is fine. It gets wrecked by every other class.
